The correct answer is 'The Earth revolves around the Sun'. 

Key Points

  • The grammatically correct Option is The earth revolves around the sun. 
  • In option 2, 'since' is used wrongly because with numbers and/or exact timelines like 'one, two, or three' 'for' is used. 
  • In option 3, 'an' is used wrongly. Here, 'a' should be used. This is because although 'one-eyed' starts with a vowel, i.e., 'o', the pronunciation of the word 'one' starts with a consonant sound (v)
  • In option 4 'are' is used wrongly. Here, 'is' should be used since it is referring to "one of the books..."
     

Thus the correct answer is Option 1
